Sunset Over Waikiki

Sunset Over Waikiki

Hawaii is lovely. We're in Kauai until tomorrow evening, and I can't get over how peaceful it is here, how quiet. We checked into the hotel (which is MASSIVE, by the way) on Thursday, and the Memorial Weekend guests hadn't arrived yet, so the only sounds on the grounds were chirping birds, the occasional splash from the hotel pool, and the crash of the waves. POIFECT.

We're headed out to the "Best Beach in America" this morning, after breakfast. I shall have my judgmental eyes on, to see whether or not the place truly measures up. Not that I've been to that many beaches in the U.S., but I'll still wear my judgmental eyes.

One thing about Kauai: if I ever moved here, I'd never go hungry. There is an abundance of chickens running wild. They congregate in the tourist areas (because stupid people feed them), and almost every time we pulled out in the car we had to go slowly to avoid crushing baby chicks. But seriously: if I moved here, I'd never buy meat again. I would learn how to slaughter chickens and I'd grow my own vegetables and I'd have fried chicken, baked chicken, sauteed chicken, steamed chicken, boiled chicken, roast chicken... I'm going all Forrest Gump, so it's time to go.
